Overview

EZ and the Intangibles, a novel for middle grade readers, captures the joy of sports and the resilience of a boy who’s determined to be a basketball player despite accumulating losses. His best shot is to specialize in those subtle moves and maneuvers that don’t show up in the standard stat sheet, those vaunted intangibles. But he’ll only succeed if somebody is there to notice.
